A
year ago, I started with my old friend to plan a traveling known as "No
36/37", which meant that you would pass by all of the commuter train line
36 and 37's stations by bus. However, it seemed impossible with line 37
since there's extremely limited amount of buses which go all the way down to
Gnesta. So a week ago, I reopened this project, but this time only line 36 and
it worked. So here comes the pictures:

The
day started early. I had to leave home at 05:50 in order to catch the first bus
40 for the day, which is at 05:53. Amazingly, the amount of passengers on this
bus was almost equivalent to the amount that you usually have during the rush
hours!

Then
I got off at Universitetet Norra and changed to bus 540 to Ulriksdals Station,
with me being the only passenger onboard, at least until Ulriksdals Station.

And a
13 minute wait until the commuter train came. The train was about 70% full,
which amazed me since it's still pretty early and there's already people
commuting out of the city.

And
then it was time to start. Starting time: 07:00.

The
first station would obviously be Märsta:

Then
I took 576 to Löwenströmska Sjukhuset. What a ride! It was so bumpy due to the
fact that OmniCitys are not really designed to drive at a constant speed of 90km/h.

No
good pictures of Rosersbergs Station was taken, so therefore I don't have any
available.

After
a detour, that is to say via Löwenströmska Sjukhuset, I took 568 back to
Upplands Väsby which is the third station counting from Märsta.

Upplands
Väsby:

After
16 minutes resting time, the same bus, Swebus 4174, came which will drive me to
Rotebro as bus 533.

Next
station: Rotebro

Then
I waited for 30 minutes until the 520 came, which covers 3 stations: Norrviken,
Häggvik, and Sollentuna.

Due
to the fact that this bus was late in the beginning, I wasn't able to take any
pictures of Norrviken and Häggvik.

And
next station is Sollentuna:

Then
it would be a 6 minutes ride from Sollentuna Station to Anhaltsvägen and then a
short run to Helenelunds Station.

607.....

then
a short jog/run to:

...Helenelund...with
just enough time to take this picture before...

...178
came.

I
took bus 178 to Bergshamra Bro and changed to 509 at Bergshamra Centrum,
therefore I saved 15 minutes on it.

Then
509 to Solna Station, passing by Ulriksdal.

And a
slow walk over to the other side and got on to bus 515 to Odenplan with 0782:

And
then bus 42 to Karlbergs Station.

Karlberg
with its sligtly modern design.

Then
with the same bus, but on route 72 to Dalagatan:

And
then I took bus 47 to Centralen.

Of
all of the places that you can photograph at Stockholms Central, why did I choose this place?
No idea...

Then
I rushed over to the other side to take bus 52 to Fridhemsplan.

At
Fridhemsplan, I took bus 4 to Gullmarsplan and took a picture of Stockholms
Södra:

Then
bus 144. This bus was 7 minutes late, but despite that fact, it was still very
empty throughout the way.

Swebus
4271, with the driver trying to figure out how to use BussPC...

It's
suppose to say 703 Huddinge C. I took it to Huddinge Centrum, passing by Stuvsta
Station.

...and
then Huddinge Station...

Afterwards
I took bus to Huddinge Sjukhus and changed to 713.

Since
I had about 30 minutes wait at Huddinge Sjukhus, I decided to take 713 to
Visättra Sportcenter, which is about 8 minutes away from Huddinge Sjukhus.

And
then took this bus back to Huddinge-Tullinge and Tumba. But unfortunately, this
bus was late the whole way,. so I didn't have time to take a picture of Tullinge
and Tumba Station.

And
look! It's the same bus running on 725! I took this same bus to Rönninge
Station, where I had a lonnnngggg break before the 708 was going to come...

Rönninge
Station. Notice that advertisement on top, I'm 100% advertising their
company in a way right now, since you are reading this, and look! There's that
restaurant!

After
the cold and harsh waiting time, the driver finally opened the door. Notice how
the outer glass sheet on the destination plate is cut away. Apparently,
someone/some group of people threw rocks on it and Swebus instead of fixing it,
they just simply took away that layer!

Already
dark! And I still have 4 hours to go!

Then
to Fittja and 748 to Södertälje Centrum. Now that it's dark, the picture
qualities only get worse..

What
a detour! To go from Rönninge to Södertälje, I had to go to Hallunda, Fittja
and then Södertälje.

At
Södertälje, I changed the order of the stations, since it proved almost
impossible to do it in the correct order. So I did: Södertälje Centrum,
Södertälje Hamn and Öststertälje.

Unfortunately,
no good shots of bus 754 was taken, so I can only view this -/- quality
destination plate picture that I took.

Then
Södertälje Hamn...

...my
ride back to Södertälje Centrum.

And
time for the last station, Östertälje.

And
FINALLY!!! The last station, Östertälje, done after 11 hours on the road!!!

Now
it's time to go home.

My
Conclusion: I felt that this traveling was really successfully done, 75
minutes earlier done than the originally planned schedule because SL was pretty
kind to me today.

I
would definitely recommend those of you which likes to spend a day traveling to
do this traveling. The landscape, people, culture, nature, everything changes as
you go from place to place.

If
you want the schedule of this traveling, then feel free to e-mail me at info@slinfo.se.
